4th grade students learned about the weaving techniques of the Navajo Native Americans. Students learned about different types of looms and weaving tools. The students first had to warp their cardboard looms using yarn. Students then demonstrated their ability to use the "under-over" weaving technique. Students wanting to try advanced weaving techniques are given individualized instruction.

In this lesson, 4th grade students learned about a meditative form of doodling called Zentangles. Students created their own Zentangles using line and shape in repetitive black and white patterns. Students used a variety of thick and thin lines, as well as shape, to create contrast. Students also learned about value and mixed their own tints to add color to their work. While working, the students listened to meditative music to help them find their "Zen".
